,After the first year, - correct answera baby's growth in length slows to five inches a year for the next two
years and then continues from age two or three to puberty at a rate of two to three inches each year.



Similarities in growth: - correct answerGrowth proceeds from the head downward and from the center
of the body outward.

Children gain control of the head and neck first, then the arms, and finally, the legs.

At birth, the brain, heart, and spinal cord are fully functioning to support the infant.

As children grow, the arm and leg muscles develop, followed by the finger and toe muscles.



Differences in growth: - correct answerSome children are taller, some shorter. Some children are smaller,
while others are larger.

These differences are completely typical. Typical growth is supported by good nutrition, adequate sleep,
and regular exercise.

Children do not grow at perfectly steady rates throughout childhood.

Children will experience weeks or months of slightly slower growth, followed by growth spurts.

Differences in the amount of growth can be a source of self-consciousness for some children.



Because each child is different and special, it is important to help them understand this concept in order
to develop a sense of self-acceptance. - correct answerIt is important to help the children in your care
understand that differences in growth patterns are typical.



Development definition - correct answerDevelopment refers to an increase in complexity; a change from
relatively simple to more complicated.



Progress - correct answerDevelopment usually involves a progression along a continuous sequential
pathway on which the child acquires more refined knowledge, behaviors, and skills.



Rate varies - correct answerThe developmental sequence is basically the same for all children; however,
the rate of development varies from child to child



Principles of Child Development - correct answerThere are five principles related to the progression of
general development that children will typically experience.

, 1 - Developmental Sequence is Similar for All - correct answerChildren develop in relatively the same
ways.

There is a typical sequence of development that occurs as a child grows.

While the sequence is similar, and the behaviors or skills emerge in the same order, children can take
more or less time with each behavior or skill.

They can move forward, regress for a short time, then move forward again.

Some children may skip a behavior or skill as they move forward.



2 - Development Proceeds from General to Specific - correct answerDevelopment progresses from a
beginning point moving in a forward direction.

Just as growth of an infant proceeds from the top down and from the center of the body to the limbs,
development of behaviors and skills moves from general to specific.

As children mature, their bodily changes occur in a sequential order and give children new abilities.

As the brain and nervous system develop, a child's thinking (cognitive) skills and motor skills improve.

In the Physical Development Domain, an infant's large muscles develop first and result in the ability to
wave the arms and kick the legs.

Development continues in the smaller muscles in the fingers and toes, and results in the ability of the
fingers to grasp objects and the toes to help with balance when standing and walking.



3 - Development is Continuous - correct answerIn children who develop typically, behaviors and skills
they have already acquired become the basis for new behaviors and skills.

There is continuity from one phase of development to the next.

Children continue to add new behaviors and skills as they perfect their abilities to walk, to write or draw,
and to speak. For example, speech development proceeds from gurgles and coos to chattering, then to
words, then phrases, and finally, sentences. Sentences become paragraphs and stories, both oral and
written.

In order for children to write or draw, they must have developed the control of their hands and fingers to
hold a crayon and pencil. Holding a pencil develops into writing and drawing.

The continuation of development can easily be seen in children as they mature from age two to age
twelve.
